Human nature, when he was still a prince, Devil Six did not covet that position in the Forbidden City, after the dead ghost father Daoguang passed the throne to Emperor Xianfeng when he kicked his legs, Devil Six also affectionately blessed the dead ghost father more than once in his heart to go deep into the nineteenth layer of hell, and was tortured in the underworld every day, and he could never turn over. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Devil Six has always felt very aggrieved, and he can't figure it out when he breaks his head, does the dead ghost father think that Emperor Xianfeng is that good, why did he pass the throne to Xianfeng, and not pass it on to himself who is ten times better than Emperor Xianfeng in terms of talent, resourcefulness and generosity? insisted on asking for the title of the queen mother for the dead ghost old lady, which is the unwilling resistance of the devil six from the bottom of his heart!

Devil Six has always gloated over the outbreak of the Taiping Army uprising in the first year of Emperor Xianfeng's accession to the throne, and he also wished that Emperor Xianfeng, who was overly drunk, would immediately die on the belly of a woman, and he has always believed that if he sat on the throne, he would definitely be able to govern the Qing Dynasty better!

However, Devil Six really didn't think about rebellion!

It's not that Devil Six doesn't want to sit on the dragon chair, it's not that he doesn't want to replace the stupid brother Xianfeng, it's that Devil Six really doesn't have the guts! As a descendant of wild boar skin, who has been exposed to it since childhood, and is familiar with the political system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no one knows better than Devil Ziliu how difficult it is to rebel and seize the throne, and how miserable the end is after defeat! The devil Liu, who didn't want to be named Aqina and Saisihei, really never had the slightest idea of rebelling and seizing the throne, let alone put it into practice.

Devil Six's biggest wish over the years is just to be a powerful minister, if possible, to be like Dolgon, who also has the blood of the wild boar skin family, to be a real and unknown acting emperor regent, Devil Six also feels that this life is not in vain. But the devil six dared to swear to the hellish spirits of the first to eighth generations of wild boar skin, and he definitely didn't have the slightest intention of rebelling!

Therefore, when he was suddenly arrested by Emperor Xianfeng on suspicion of rebellion, Devil Six was completely dizzy, and he couldn't figure out what was going on when he broke his head, how could a black pot of rebellion fall from the sky and happen to smash on his head?

"Could it be that the imperial brother is too worried about me and deliberately fabricates charges to kill me? Cut off this hidden danger of me once and for all? ”

In a daze, Devil Six even suspected that this was Emperor Xianfeng deliberately framed him, but he was escorted by the guards to the Forbidden City Gate, and after hearing the Jingyang Bell that suddenly rang in the palace to summon hundreds of officials to the court, Devil Six immediately understood that he had wronged Emperor Xianfeng - no matter how stupid Emperor Xianfeng was, it would never be possible to frame himself in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and leave a reputation in public.

The reason is also very simple, Emperor Xianfeng really wants to kill Devil Six, and he can solve the problem by directly giving a cup of poisoned wine to death in private, and then splash dirty water on Devil Six as much as he wants, anyway, Devil Six has no way to defend it. And at the same time as arresting Devil Six and entering the palace, he also summoned hundreds of officials to the court, making it clear that he wanted to do it in public and kill Devil Six justifiably, and at the same time, it was also interesting enough to give Devil Six a chance to justify.

"It seems that nine out of ten people have falsely accused this king, who is falsely accusing this king? Can you still make such a big move from the royal brother? How did he falsely accuse the king, and what kind of evidence did he fabricate? ”

When he was thinking about these questions in his heart, Su Shun, who suddenly appeared in front of the door of the Jinluan Palace, made the devil six suspicious again, and he was extremely suspicious that Su Shun, who had secretly been at odds with him, had made a ghost and fabricated criminal evidence to frame himself. So Devil Six didn't hesitate, and asked Su Shun directly: "Su Zhongtang, why do you say that I am rebelling?" Who said that this king is going to rebel? ”

"Lord Wang, now Weichen can't say a word, in short, you wait patiently, when all the officials are here, you will know everything. Also, according to the emperor's instructions, now the lower officials are temporarily guarding you, please respect yourself and don't embarrass the lower officials. ”

Su Shun's easy answer made Devil Six a little bit again, and he also subconsciously excluded Su Shun from the list of suspects - with Su Shun's personality and temper, if he really made a move, he would never behave so casually, and his expression was full of confidence. At the moment, the devil six was inevitably even more strange, and said secretly: "Who did it?" This king has no enemies in the court except for Su Shun, a bastard? ”

Anxiously waiting, the officials in Beijing who heard the bell had rushed to the palace to listen to the announcement, but before everyone arrived, Emperor Xianfeng had already issued an order to ascend to the palace, and was directly held in front of the Jinluan Palace, and Gui Liang and Bai Ye, who were also involved in the case, were temporarily detained elsewhere to prevent collusion, and then the civil and military officials lined up into the hall, and when they saw the ghost six being tied up by Huang Aya and kneeling on the palace, the civil and military officials were of course all shocked, although they didn't dare to ask the reason, they all exclaimed in their hearts, " Tonight, something big is going to happen! ”

Sure enough, when Emperor Xianfeng appeared in front of the hundred officials, his face was really pale, extremely hideous, and it was difficult to see the extreme, after the hundred officials knelt down and saluted, Emperor Xianfeng also said straight to the point: "You Aiqing are exempt, flat, you Aiqing, I didn't plan to disturb and summon you in the middle of the night, but there is no way, in order not to let the world say that I am a mediocre tyrant who mutilates my hands and feet, and let me leave a reputation in the history books, I must invite you to enter the palace to be a witness for me, See for yourself why I want to bring Yixun to justice! ”

"Wait for death!"

The civil and military officials who had already gotten up were scattered, and they all quickly knelt down to be slaves, and the devil six himself was almost scared to pee on his crotch, and screamed: "Wronged!" Brother Huang, my brother is wronged! The younger brother dares to swear to the previous emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and the younger brother has no second heart for you! ”

"No two hearts? What a one! ”

Emperor Xianfeng laughed when he heard this, and his smile was extremely hideous, and he asked directly: "Yixun, I ask you, what is the relationship between you and Hubei Governor Wu Chaoyue Wu Aiqing?" ”

"Wu Chaoyue?" Devil Ziliu was stunned again, and he didn't understand why Emperor Xianfeng mentioned Wu Chaoyue, but at this time, of course, Devil Ziliu didn't dare to say a little lie, so he could only answer honestly: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers and Wu Chaoyue only know each other, and the relationship is mediocre, and he once took him to Dagukou to negotiate with foreigners, and later he returned to Beijing to report on his work when he was appointed as an envoy in Jiangsu, and met with him again, and there was no other contact." ”

"What a mediocre relationship!" Emperor Xianfeng smiled even more hideously, and asked again: "Then I ask you, when Wu Chaoyue was serving as the envoy of Jiangsu, he went to Beijing to report on his work and visited your palace, did you ever insist on keeping him to stay?" ”

"There's this." Devil Ziliu nodded calmly and said: "At that time, because the younger brother had an old relationship with Wu Chaoyue and appreciated his talents, he invited him to stay in his brother's house, but Wu Chaoyue refused. ”

"Then if Wu Aiqing promised to live in your house at that time, what are you going to say to him?"

Emperor Xianfeng asked with a cruel smile, and said: "Also, you said that you appreciated Wu Aiqing's talent very much, but in the next few days, when Su Aiqing and Zai Aiqing tried to persuade Wu Aiqing, who was exceptionally talented, you were the Minister of Military Aircraft at the time, why didn't you say a word?" Does this seem to appreciate Wu Aiqing's talents? ”

The devil wanted to cry when he heard it, and said in his heart, Brother Huang, you are really suspicious of your neighbor stealing the axe, don't you know the rules in the officialdom? Whose house a foreign official lives in Beijing means that he has a close relationship with whom, Wu Chaoyue doesn't give me face as a prince, and if he wants to be the governor of Hubei, of course I won't give him face, just think about it.

Of course, Devil Six didn't dare to say it directly, and was forced to be helpless, of course, Devil Six could only talk casually, kowtow and replied: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers felt that although Wu Chaoyue was talented, he was too young and too young, so he didn't approve of letting him be the governor." From now on, the younger brother was wrong at that time, and Su Zhongtang was right. ”

"It's a shame that you were wrong at the time, and it's even more a shame that Wu Aiqing was cautious at the time and didn't live in your house, otherwise, Wu Aiqing would probably have to accompany you to the ground now."

Emperor Xianfeng sneered and mocked, and then asked: "My good sixth brother, I ask you again, why did you instigate me to remove the governor of Huguang with Bai Ye during the day today?" Why did Bai Ye repeatedly recommend your father-in-law, Taishan Guiliang, to be the governor of Huguang? Also, when I sent someone to arrest you, why did Bai Ye happen to be at Gui Liang's house with you? Still kneeling in front of you, with tears on your face?! ”

The hundred officials were in an uproar, but the devil six wanted to cry without tears, and replied: "Back to the emperor, my brother suggested that the governor of Huguang be removed today, because the governor of Huguang, Hua Shana, is seriously ill, and he is worried that he will have some accidents and mistake the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty!" As for what happened later, it's all a coincidence, it's really a coincidence! ”

"What a coincidence, what a country for me." Emperor Xianfeng, who was about to go crazy, laughed fiercely again, and suddenly said: "Sixth brother, I'm afraid what you are really for, is Huguang's military power?" Then use Huguang's army to do the big things you want, right? ”

"Military power? Do big things?! ”

When the hundred officials were noisy again, the devil six was almost frightened crazy, and screamed: "Brother Huang, the younger brother is a big courage, and he doesn't dare to touch Huguang's military power!" Also, what big things can the younger brother do, and what big things do he dare to do? ”

"Then why did you use Gui Liang to surpass Wu and surpass Aiqing? Woo and buy Wu Aiqing, who is famous for being good at fighting? And tell him that you are going to entrust him with great things? ”

Emperor Xianfeng asked in a cold voice, and as a result, the civil and military officials on the Jinluan Palace immediately changed color on their faces, and subconsciously thought of such a possibility - using the old man to master the Huguang army, which is currently the most powerful in the Central Plains, and then bribing the most capable Hubei governor Wu Chaoyue, with strong reinforcements from outside, and Bai Ye echoing at the military aircraft inside.

"Wronged——! Brother Huang, my brother is wronged! When did the younger brother surpass Wu through Gui Liang? When did you tell Wu Chaoyue that I was going to entrust him with something important? The subordinate brother is wronged, wronged! ”

Between the heart-rending howls of the devil six, Emperor Xianfeng finally asked An Dehai to show the deadly words in public, and asked with a cruel smile: "Sixth brother, see clearly, is this handwriting your own handwriting?" Isn't it your seal? ”

"Can you do big things?!"

Many people in the civil and military officials were so surprised that they shouted directly, but the sixth devil opened his mouth, stared at the painting for a long time before he came back to his senses, nodded and said: "It's the minister's brother's handwriting, but the minister's brother can't remember when he wrote this character, and also, how could this character be here?" ”

"How are you here?" Emperor Xianfeng said with a cruel smile: "Of course, it was because you asked Gui Liang to give this character to Wu Chaoyue, Wu Aiqing didn't dare to accept it, and he was loyal to me, so he hurriedly sent it to the capital with six hundred miles to hand it over to me." ”

Before Emperor Xianfeng's words were finished, Devil Six had already collapsed on the Jinluan Palace, and the civil and military officials present were all pale, and they all exclaimed in their hearts when they looked at each other, "Prince Gong really wants to rebel?" ”

"Why don't you speak?" Emperor Xianfeng patted the pseudo-dragon case, and asked angrily: "I ask you, what do you mean by giving this character to Wu Aiqing?" What important things do you want to entrust to my Wu Aiqing?! ”

"No ......, no ......, the younger brother ......, the younger brother doesn't dare, he doesn't dare to ...... Yes. ”

Confused, Devil Six suddenly flashed in his mind, and suddenly shouted, "I remembered!" Brother Chen remembered! This painting was written by the younger brother to Yanxi, the eldest son of Gui Zhongtang! ”

"The younger brother still remembers the reason for writing these four words, the eldest son of Gui Zhongtang is a little unsuccessful, and often makes Gui Zhongtang sad, after the younger brother heard about it, he casually persuaded Yanxi when he visited his father-in-law, and wrote these four words to persuade him to study diligently, so that the court can entrust him with great affairs and be the pillar of the court!"

Of course, Devil Six was telling the truth, but unfortunately, Emperor Xianfeng not only didn't believe it, but on the contrary, he asked with a cruel smile: "In that case, how did this painting come into Wu Aiqing's hands?" ”

"It's ......." Devil Zi Liu was speechless, so he could only bow his head and reply: "I don't know this, my brother doesn't know." ”

Emperor Xianfeng smiled again, and then said to the hundred officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, you saw it, did you hear it?" I ordered the arrest of Yixun today, did I punish him without teaching? Is it fratricidal, mean and ruthless? ”

"Wait for death!"

The hundred officials pleaded for the crime again, and then someone immediately said: "My emperor Shengming, Prince Gong Yixun made friends with foreign ministers, coveted military power, hinted at rebellion, and the crime cannot be punished!" My emperor is aware of Yixun's crimes, and he still allows him to defend himself in public, which shows that my emperor is open-minded and pities his flesh and bones, and he is the first emperor of the ages! ”

"My emperor is benevolent, although Yao Shunyu soup, he can't reach it!"

"The emperor is lenient, Yi Xun has committed such a big case, and he can still allow Yi Xun to defend himself in the court, Wei Chen was so moved that he almost cried! To be able to serve as a minister in such a lenient and benevolent court is really a blessing that we have cultivated in our previous lives! ”

It was still after the sycophancy of sycophancy coaxed Emperor Xianfeng's mood to improve a little, Mianyue, who had a deep friendship with the devil Liu, cautiously stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although the evidence of Yixun's crime is conclusive, this case is very important and involves too much. ”

Although I really want to cut down the devil who dares to covet the throne, but if you want to execute your own brother, after all, the matter is too important, and since the devil has been arrested, Emperor Xianfeng is not afraid of what else he can stir up, so after a little calculation, Emperor Xianfeng still nodded reluctantly, and said: "Okay, for the sake of the fifth uncle's face, I will first cut off Yixun from the prince, and put him in the beekeeping channel of the Zongren Mansion, and he is not allowed to contact any outsiders, and he will talk about it after the details of the case are investigated." ”

Mianyu hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask for the investigation of the case, but Emperor Xianfeng couldn't believe Mianyu who was an uncle and nephew with the devil six, and said: "The fifth uncle is old, and this matter is too complicated, so you don't have to worry about it." Su Shun, Zaiyuan, this matter will be investigated by you, no matter who is involved, it will be investigated to the end! ”

Su Shun and Zaiyuan happily promised each other, and the devil six was also completely desperate, and said secretly: "It's over, hand it over to these two miscellaneous pieces to investigate, even if it can be found out that I am wronged, I will definitely not be able to avoid this catastrophe." ”

Fortunately for Devil Liu, his brother-in-law Yanxi finally didn't make a mistake this time, he knew that the matter was too big to hide, and honestly admitted his crime of embezzling gifts, and he also bit down on the words that he gave to Wu Chaoyue in his own hands, and did not talk nonsense under the temptation and persecution of Su Shun and Zaiyuan. At the same time, Gui Liang also took the life guarantee of the nine clans of the Manmen and sent it to Wu Chaoyue's hand The matter has nothing to do with Devil Six, and he also bit it to death and did not change his words, and never gave Su Shun the ironclad evidence of the death of Devil Six.

Fortunately for Devil Liu, his shrewd sister-in-law came back to her senses afterwards, and also pointed out a major suspicion to Emperor Xianfeng - if Devil Six really wanted to rebel and seize power by force, then he should try to control the capital or the army of Zhili, even if Huguang's army was really mastered by Devil Six through Gui Liang, it would not play much role - Gui Liang raised troops in Hubei, and there was no need to wait for Huguang's rebels to cross Henan, and the heads of Devil Liu's family had already landed.

After thinking of this under the reminder of his beloved concubine, he personally checked the confession of the Guiliang family, and Emperor Xianfeng gradually began to suspect that this was just a coincidence, and gradually put away his murderous intentions for Devil Six, and began to think about cutting Devil Six to the prince and imprison him forever!

The most unlucky is Bai Bai Zhongtang, not to mention the so-called rebellion case involving the devil six, the crime of accepting bribes and committing fraud in the Shuntianfu Township Test was also investigated by Su Shun, and the case file was presented to the Xianfeng Emperor by Su Shun, and the angry Xianfeng Emperor couldn't stand Su Shun's instigation, and gave Bai Ye a punishment on the spot, and ordered Su Shun to be responsible for the execution of the beheading! At the same time, many officials of the Bai Ye Party were also implicated, the head of the head was killed, the prisoner was imprisoned, and the exiled was exiled.

Su Zhongtang is indeed an alternative among the banner people, personally supervised and executed the sworn enemy Bai Ye, and completely overthrew the political opponent and monopolized the power of the court, the first thing Su Shun did was not to set up a banquet to celebrate, but to let his henchmen write a letter to Wu Chaoyue, and instructed in a big way: "Tell that little rabbit cub and tell him to let me go, I don't need to have any scruples!" As long as you can smooth out the long hair, if you have any requirements, Lao Tzu will try to meet them! ”

"Also, since Hua Shana is seriously ill, the little rabbit cub is actually both the governor and the governor now, so don't be in a hurry to become the governor and hand over the governor's power, first do these two positions at the same time, and wait for the old man Hua to kick his legs or can't hold on to the illness, Lao Tzu will help him to take the throne, and by the way, please ask the emperor to restore the old system of the first emperor, cancel the post of governor of Hubei, and let him continue to serve concurrently!"

Alternative is alternative, but when Wu Chaoyue really put forward new requirements with Su Shun's connivance, the bold Su Zhongtang was still taken aback, and exclaimed: "Little rabbit cub, you are really bold enough!" (To be continued.) )
